First Look at Brad Pitt

First look at Aldo Raine

October 17th, 2008 - 5pm GMT / (posted by Sebastian)

Let me introduce you to the principal Basterd, the head honcho Basterd, most Inglourious of all Basterds, Lt. Aldo Raine (insert applause here). We've got a first look at Brad Pitt in full resistance fighter gear for you. Remember, this ain't your Warner Brothers 1950s WW2 hero, this is a hillbilly straight from the mountains of Tennessee, a man with a scar around his neck that "will never once be mentioned," this is Brad Pitt in one hundred percent Quentin Tarantino Nazi-scalping business. If you drooled over those few pictures of the farmhouse set we ran last week that almost killed our server, get ready to see the site slow down in a few hours. Here's a little quote from the much quoted Aldo Raine opening speech: "? I sure as hell, didnt come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half Sicily, and then jump out of a ****in air-o-plane, to teach the Nazi's lessons in humanity." So click on Brad Pitt here to the right?. and stay tuned for more inglorious coverage of Inglourious Basterds

The film that singlehandedly proves that movie fans can be excited about a film despite horrendous misspelling, Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, has a release date - and it's August 21, 2009.

The World War II-set film stars Brad Pitt as Lieutenant Aldo Raine, the leader of a group of Jewish soldiers carrying out targetted acts of retribution against the Nazis in Occupied France. They join with undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) to try to take down the leaders of the Third Reich, but their plans bring them into contact with a Jewish woman, Shoshanna (M?lanie Laurent) who has her own revenge plans.

The new release date for the US puts the film up against horror Final Destination: Death Trip 3D and comedy The Goods: The Don Ready Story. It's a summer blockbuster sort of slot - a similar release date to Tropic Thunder last year - and while it hasn't been confirmed yet if the UK release date will be the same, expect it to come not too long after that day.

Teaser Trailer This Week (Source)

Want to see the trailer for Quentin Tarantino?s Inglourious Basterds? Well apparently the teaser trailer will be premiering on Entertainment Tonight this coming week according to Tarantino Archives, possibly on Thursday as the French site Allocine.fr was the first to claim.

I ignorantly wrote the news off over the weekend as a false rumor because I just didn?t believe there was a film coming out next week for the teaser to be attached to that also targets the same demographic and or is being released by The Weinstein Co. But apparently I was wrong. May-be it will be attached to Friday the 13th? Just seems like such an odd choice.

While the film has just entered post production, the movie is being rushed for a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Thanks to /Film reader Christopher M for the tip.

I can't wait for this movie.

Wow, the trailer is mind blowing. Also brad pitt is awesome. And lol at the hitler at the end of trailer.

btw the only quentin tarantino's movie sucked ass was Death Proof. Who's agree? :D

I thought Four Rooms was terrible (though he only did one segment of it) and I hated Jackie Brown.

I can't wait for this movie.

I thought Four Rooms was terrible (though he only did one segment of it) and I hated Jackie Brown.

:o Four Rooms was hilarious. I've never watched Jackie Brown all the way through despite owning it on DVD. I hate really long films.

Four Rooms was awesome!

Jackie Brown - Hated it the first time I watched it, but I have since watched it 3 more times and its brilliant!

Yeah Death Proof was awful, mind you Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror was pretty bad. Infact Grindhouse was just pathetic.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
